Terms and Conditions

APPOINTMENTS

Initial Visit

When booking your initial visit, payment is requested in advance to secure your appointment. This can be paid securely over the phone or via a text message link to secure online payment. If you have contacted the Glasgow Osteopathic Centre on 0141 632 1266 to book your initial visit, please give the receptionist your mobile telephone number and email address and I will contact you directly to arrange payment.

Prior to your first treatment, you will be asked to complete a Consultation Form. This gives me a background of your health, lifestyle and any restrictions or limitations to your treatment in regard to any specific conditions or symptoms. There are some conditions where therapies may not be advisable or that advice from your GP or medical professional may be sought prior to the treatment. Please note that some personal information may be required and this is strictly private and confidential.

Restrictions/Limitations/Adaptations

Please let me know at the time of booking, either on the notes section when booking online or by contacting me directly, if there are any physical, mental or emotional restrictions, limitations, adaptations or special requirements for your treatment. As a professional therapist, it is important to me that I am able to provide the best possible environment and treatment for you.

Illness

If you are suffering from a cold or other contractible infection or disease, please do not book or attend an appointment until your symptoms have subsided and you are well again. Bodywork therapies are not advised or recommended, for either client or therapist, during these times.

Pregnancy

The only treatment available in the first trimester of pregnancy is Reiki. Please let me know at the time of booking if you are pregnant and at which stage of your pregnancy.

With less than 7 days notice, there is a fee of £35 in addition to the deposit.
